Shopify Plus merchants can now build the discount, payment, and delivery customizations that their business needs with Shopify Functions. Shopify Functions replace the need for Shopify Scripts, as a result Shopify Scripts will no longer be supported as of August 13, 2024. Merchants that leverage Shopify Scripts will need to migrate to Shopify Functions before this date.
Why we built Shopify Functions
Shopify Functions are deployed via apps and configured alongside native features directly in the Shopify Admin. This means that merchants never have to touch a line of code when creating or modifying their customizations.
The WASM platform which runs Shopify Functions is also 100x more performant than the Script Editor app and executes code in under 5ms. Meaning, Shopify Functions can scale up for internet breaking sales events and still perform lighting fast.
Scripts and Functions
Please note that Functions and Scripts can work together, so if a use case is not yet supported by Functions, you can continue to leverage your existing Shopify Scripts. Over the next year, we will continue to release additional Functions APIs to cover existing Scripts use-cases, and more.
